I know every day is insanity but these people, his trade people, are [!@#$%^&*] insane. I know these types of people are all over his administration (which is why I'm increasingly terrified about this meeting with NK), but to have them going on TV and spouting such vitriol gives me a chill about where we're going next. And yet again NO Republicans in Congress are stepping in. No oversight. NONE.

I hate the way he calls the Canadian Prime Minister "Justin".  I know it's a small thing, but it's clearly meant to diminish.  The trade situation is completely off the rails and we all have damn good reason to be terrified about these talks with North Korea. Who among us thinks Trump has enough knowledge to conduct negotiations with NK?

It's all too convenient for me.  Trump has fallen ass-backwards into this "summit" with NK, as Kim Jong Un has made all the overtures that actually mean anything.

 

I still believe that Putin has something to do with this and has arranged the "summit" purely to boost Trump's image and status as president.  Trump knows this and knows the outcome has been set, hence he's "winging it".  

 

The fact that more Republicans aren't calling him out for the disgusting way he's treating our allies is maddening.  He's coddling Russia and blowing off the G7 to kiss communist ass.  I mean, what in the fresh fvck is going on.  Where is the outrage?  

 

The right had a hissy fit when Clinton normalized relations with Vietnam and Obama went to Cuba!  But they're OK with Trump's behavior now?!?!

    • I thought today was still good. Leo is always awful, but the characters treating him like he's a plague feeds my soul. Rafe in particular had been very passive about him, but today was wonderful seeing him put Leo on notice. I really think it's being written that Javi is going to have to eventually take the blinders off and see Leo for who he really is. Them having sex on Gabi's desk made me want to explode. Roman taking in stray Doug was nice to see. And the mention of Frankie and Max was unexpected, but good to know they're at least being thought of. Tate being petty and a bit vindictive by going back to Sophia's as soon as he saw Doug with Holly was entertaining for me. I think I actually like Tate the most out of all of them because he's so damn messy.  Is Holly about to be kidnapped? Her first time?
    • That would have saved the Anita singing segment -- having her by herself, singing quietly and reflectively. Belting it out like she was in church did not work. The black screens fade at the end was a mistake. BTG insists on being different with these fades for the sake of being different, and it's not working.   I thought all of that was just fine. Worked for me.   I'm going to disagree with this. Martin hasn't had many scenes with his parents, but he's been around family A LOT -- and that's what matters. We also know Martin is someone with a hair trigger response. He can be very emotional when discussing an issue before getting to the logic and reason of it all.  
    • My view of Evan is that he's smart but not as smart as he thinks he is, not a good guy but not an entirely bad guy - he's a lot of things, the show never quite knowing what to do with them. I never saw him as Iris' follower because Iris always seemed a bit in over her head from the start. 
    • She was the Town Historian, who knew a bit too much about Brandon and the infamous cottage.  SF was still a pretty normal place at that time, with Nola and Reva being the most outrageous citizens....seems that Carrie Pipper would have stood out a bit more for people.

    • Yes, I need to dot hat. Also on my list talking to the person I got these files from since they clearly have a mess, in terms of dates being wrong. And, unfortunately finding one date wrong, automatically means more are wrong, too. 
    • I'm hoping that it doesn't happen. If the show keeps putting out good performance and story it will be hard to shut it out. Daphnee, Trisha, Ambyr and Colby are earning nominations without question.
    • Speaking of correcting dates, since you mentioned it above, why don't you go back to your Saturday post and edit it and replace your wording of "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-2-83"  with "DAYS Ruth Buzzi 11-1-83" and add a note that the video has the wrong date of 11/2/83 on it, and that the video is actually 11/1/83.
